The chronological Journal for,
May, will interest all admirers of
grand intellects with the opening
sketch of the life and work of Lud-
wig W1ndthorst, the German
statesman. The portrait shows a
typical German face of great dig
nifty. Familiar Talks with Our
Young Readers has reached No.
II of the series with no abatement
of skill in handling the subject or
interest in the perusal. "The
Divorce Question:" is considered
with q keenness and discrimination
which makes the paper valuable.
"Beecher on Phrenology," is a
brief resume of the eminent
preachers sympathy with the
subject.
"Head Measurement" is an illus
trated article of use to students of
Phrenology. "What one Sees in
Jamaica. is also illustrated.

ture of Dwelling Houses is a
needed paper, well-written and
illustrated. "Hypnotism," is still
further discussed. Among the
editorials we especially commend
to all smokers that one which re-
lates to smoking in public. The
publishers seem to have taken on
new stock of enthusiasm through
the influence of their new home,
into which they haye just moved.

run of four hours brought us to
Jaynesville. We found it very
pleasant village and the people
social. In an early day the coun-
try was settled, largely, by people
from Burbon county, Kentucky,
and they still cling to the old time
hospitality. While there we took
ride into Cumberland county,
and | must confess that l was new

is as level as it is possible to be,

Weekly Crop Summary.

CHICAGO, May o. Crop reports
show that some localities have
been favored with beneficial rains
but the majority of counties in all
of the Wester States, except per-
haps Missouri, and Kentucky
need rain. Dakota is apparently
in better condition as regards the
crops than any State reporting.
Thirteen counties in Illinois re-
port an average condition of win
ter wheat of so per cent. Damage
by chinch bugs is reported in
Bond, Jasper, Jefferson and Mer-
Ger counties, while rain is needed
in Dewitt. Grundy, Lee, Mercer
and Mason. The average condi-
tion of spring wheat in counties
reporting this week is 80 per cent,
but rain is needed. Ten counties
in Indiana report the condition of
winter wheat at an average of S5
per cent. Reports for the State
are OF the whole good. The
weather in Michigan still contin-
GUS very dry. Winter wheat in
Bay county is injured Is per cent
by insects. The average condition
in Branch county is placed at 80
per cent; in Gratiot at Ito per
cent. and in Livingston at 100 per
cent. Meadows and pastures are
short from lack of rain.
Twelve counties in Ohio report
the average condition of winter
wheat as low as &C per cent. The
average is 100 in Columbia and
and Preble counties, but in Lake
it falls to 80 and in Crawford,
Putnam and Seneca to 80 per cent,
Eight counties in Wisconsin re-
port an average condition of S5
per cent. Rain is badly needed.
In Iowa the average condition of
winter and spring wheat is 100
per cent, and prospects are good.
Jhinch bugs are injurilg the
winter wheat in many Kansas
counties, while others are free
from the insects. Wheat is in
good condition in Kentucky and
rain plentiful. Spring wheat is in
very fair condition in Minnesota,
but rain is wanted in several ccun-
ties. In Missouri eleven counties
report the average condition of
winter wheat at 81 per cent. Bu-
chanan, Moniteau, Monroe, Nod.
away, Usage, Ray and ST Charles
Counties, report rain plentiful
Local rains have fallen in Nebras.
ka during the past week and wheat
is i'm a fair condition. Rain is
still required in Colfax. Dixon and
Fillmore counties. The reports
flom Dakota are highly satisfac.
tory and prospects for heavy crops
are good. The percentages of con
dition are beginning to show the
effects of continued dry weather
but local rains have fallen il
many districts, and condition:
: may consequently be expected tt
improve should the rain continue
The hay crops will be light il
most of the Western States.

What the Atehison will do for South
West Shippers.

The grading all along the line
of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe from Kansas City to
Fort Madison is being pushed
rapidly. Track laying from Kansas
City will begin about July lst
and it is expected that the line
will be completed and open for
traffic by the middle of Septem-
ber. This road is being construct
ed on an air line and with little
consideration for local traffic.
When it Is completed it is ex-
pected that it will make such
rates as will compel all other roads
leading from the far west to
materially lower their presentrates
The present rate by all lines 70,
grain from Minneapolis to Chicago
is seven and half cents, while the
rate from Kansas City to Chicago
the same distance is twenty-five
cents or more than three times
as much. When the Atchison e1.
tension is completed to Chicago
there is every probability that
shippers over the South Western
roads will be given an equal
chance with the shippers of the
North West. This will make 6
difference to the farmers of Mis-.
souri, and Kansas of ten cents pei
bushel on wheat alone, and every
thing else in proportion.

Canadian Crop Prospect.

Toronto, May 23.-The report
of the Ontario Bureau of Indus
tries for May, just issued, says;
In general the fall wheat crop is
far from fulfilling the promise it
gave of a good crop when the
snow came on last tall. Through
out the Province generally the
quantity of wheat held by farmers
will barely suffice for home con-
sumption, and in the st. Lawrence
and Ottawa Valleys may have had
to buy -four. In the western
counties hay and oats ara rather
scarce, while along the St.
Lawrence the supply is abundant
Winter rye is in fairly good con-
dition. The reports of the fruit
prospects generally are of hope
ful character. Oats, peas and
barley and fair extent of spring
wheat have been sowed, and at
the date of the reports their gener-
al appearance was satisfactory
though the drouth alone producing,
a feeling of uneasiness.

A Cyclone of Long Ago.

"Yes," said a grey-headed old
man who had been listening to
stories of cyclones; sit was fifty
seven years ago this coming
August that a cyclone passed
through Rails county from the
southwest to the northeast. I re-
member the time well. l was ff-
teen years old. The day opened
with heavy patches of clouds in the
north and to the southwest. Early
in the afternoon a heavy cloud
formed in the southw, st that SEEM
ed to taper down towards the earth.
About 3 o'clock the clouds began
to move rapidly away to the north
east, accompanied with roaring
noise like the rumbling of train
of heavy cars. Although we lived
two miles south of the track of the
storm, the roaring was distinctly
heard at our house. In five min
utes after the storm commenced
it had passed away, and all was
calm and serene. Nothing could
exceed the fury of the storm along
tho narrow track it travelled. The
path of the storm varied in width
from a few feet to fifty yards. As
it approached the Mississippi river
it seemed to gain in fury. Up
hill and down with apparent equal
force, the mysterious power moved
on until it leaped from the bluff
and crossed the river, dividing the
water in its course. A half mile
west of the river, down In a deep
hollow, my brother, some three or
four years previous, had built a
spring house out of heavy logs
fifteen to twenty inches through.
The foundation logs of this spring
house had become deeply imbed-
ed in the drift and sediment that
had from time to time been carried
down the creek on which it stood.
Yet when the cyclone had passed
over where this building had stood,
there was nothing left; the very
foundation logs having been lifted
up and carried away."-Hannibal
Courier.

Weather Crop Report.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May %
The Signal Office has issued the
following crop report for the week
ending May q, 1887:
Temperature-During the week
ending May 21 the weather has
been warmer than usual in all ag-
riculturai districts east of the
the Rocky Mountains, except in
Florida and Texas, where the de-
ficiency in temperature averages
about 25o, a daily average of
about 3 . below the normal. From
the Mississippi Valley eastward to
the Atlantic coast the excess of the
temperature for the week was
from 25o to SOC a daily average
of about Sc Warmer than usual.
The excess of temperature for the
season previously reported i'll the
the East Gulf States, Tennessee,
the Central Mississippi and Low
er Mississippi Valleys has been
increased by the warm weather of
the past week, while the defcien-
cy of temperature previously re-
ported for the season in the wheat
and corn regions north of the Ohio
River and in the Upper Lake re-
gion, Iowa and Minnesota, has
been reduced, thus leaving the
thermal conditions in these sec
tions at the close of the week near
the normal.
Rainfall-During the week there
has been deficiency of rainfall
in all sections east of the Missouri
and Lower Mississippi Valleys,
while slight excesses are reported
in Texas, Northern Arkansas and
Central Dakota. The deficiency
in rainfall for the season is gener-
al, the only sections reporting an
excess being Northern New Eng
land, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania,
Northwestern Dakota, Oregon and
Washington Territory. The large
deficiency in rainfall previously
reported in the southern states
east of the Mississippi continues.
General remarks-In the cotton
region east of the Mississippi
more rain is needed, but the re-
cent showers and warm weather
have put the crop in a favorable
condition, in the West Gulf States
the excellent weather of the past
week mas improved the crop con-
ditions, except in Northern Ar
kansas, where too much rain is re-
ported. In the grain regions of
the Ohio Valley and Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska, the weather
during the week has been gener-
ally favorable for corn and wheat
In Michigan, Wisconsin and Min
nesota and northern Illinois the
weather has been reported as fav-
orable, but crops are likely to be
Injured, owing to the absence OF
rain.
In the hay regions of New
England and the Middle Atlantic
! States the weather is reported as
favorable. Telegraphic reports
